Go Ds

It's amazing how small, subtle changes can have such an accumulative effect. It often explians how each season teams look like theyre in a game of Snakes and Ladders. A player isnt suddenly 10cm taller nor sprinting 10%faster. But , yeah , if in an new season , say, the midfield is exactly the same but now two more times in 100 minutes a kick into the forward line becomes a shot 20m out virtually an identical side wins more games. And if a team can have a dozen players just developing a few better on-field habits suddenly it looks like they recruited Bruce Doull, Paddy Cripps and Tony Lockett over summer.

DA? What's wrong with "district attorney"? 😁

Navis mea anguillis plena est. Gratias ago pro laude; mihi ipsi providere conor. Rex novus Melburniae est.

Im guessing the nephew's pretty young. When he sits with you it should be a great memory for him.

Yep! I have fond memories of leaving the ground to get a Mr Whippy cone at half-time. 😉

What has Chandler done wrong? I think it's a little premature to include 'non-recruits', though admittedly they'd hafta get some game time.

You tryna be funny? Surely you can see it means 'I'm going to have to .... "

How's Kosi? Did he have a good break? Is he raring to go for preseason?

The Day I Tried To ..... Kick. Hopefully next year that changes.

Yes! How T.

You meant Langford?

No I'd say there's all sorts of reasons why a team stops. Against St Kilda it looked like a team lacking self-confidence fell apart big time. I certainly think Melbourne's fitness can be improved.

No, I reckon there's a few reasons w .xxxz

These days preseasons are so intense I'm assuming that by the time a team/player realises their preseason had been mucked it's too late to catch up. If that was Kolt's problem last season tucking into him midseason could only backfire.
